Chapter 183 A New Chapter
It was drizzling, the whole village was in mourning, and the flowers in the flower shop in the mountains were selling like crazy
Ino quietly launched family packages, couple packages, children's packages, etc., with various discounts, at least that's what she said.
After attending the funeral of the Third Hokage, everyone is still doing what they should do.
It can't be said that they are very sad. Even Jiraiya and Tsunade, the two disciples, and Asuma's own son, are not sad.
Ninjas have seen too many lives and deaths.
Dying at the age of seventy can't be considered a premature death. Compared to those children who went to the battlefield in their teens and were killed in the first battle, there is really nothing to say about dying at this age.
The older ninjas reacted indifferently. They had seen too much and knew the third generation well, including his merits and demerits. They were mentally prepared for his death.
On the contrary, it was the younger generation of ninjas who were very sad. Ino made a very sad expression in public. Three days after the funeral, she was still dressed very solemnly, and kept reminding everyone not to forget the achievements of the third generation, and to quickly go to the flower shop to buy two bouquets of flowers to commemorate the deceased old man.
Naruto was really sad, but the extent of his sadness was limited. For him, it just meant losing an old man who recognized him. Konohamaru was the most painful.
Children are more sensitive to some things, and sometimes adults' words and actions are not very particular. Before, he was the grandson of the Hokage, and was called "Lord Konohamaru" by many people. Now that his grandfather is dead, he instantly became Konohamaru.
It’s not easy for outsiders to say much about this kind of thing, so we can only let him adjust it himself.
Although Jiraiya looks a bit out of place, he actually has no shortage of political skills and connections.
Following Shikaku's advice, he sent a secret letter to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire in his own name, saying that the Third Hokage had died too suddenly, and the Acting Hokage was not in the village. The villagers and ninjas warmly supported him, so he had to become the Fifth Hokage. He hoped that the ninja village and the Land of Fire would continue to maintain harmonious relations and that both sides would build a beautiful home together.
The wording was perfunctory, but this was the normal attitude of the ninja village towards the daimyo. Just to save face was enough. As a daimyo, do you really think you can decide the appointment and dismissal of the village kage? Don't be ridiculous.
Jiraiya maintained the political structure of the previous three generations and won over two advisors.
After that, Shikaku gradually took over the work of the leader of the Jonin squad, and concentrated on being the Hokage's adviser. If an adviser passed away in the future, he could take over.
The position of leader of the Jonin squad is going to be handed over to Kakashi, and the meaning of the successor is very clear.
Jiraiya became the fifth generation, and his choice was similar to that of Tsunade in the original time and space, or in other words, there were not many choices in this position.
He used the title of promoting Chunin to win over and test the minds of several major ninja clans.
Jiraiya's prestige is higher than Tsunade's, and with the legacy of the third generation, he has more skills and room to deal with problems.
Classes like Team 7 and Team 10 generally don't exist for too long. The tasks of a jonin are extremely heavy, and it's impossible for them to be raised for three to five years like a child. That would be a waste of resources.
This is like a new employee joining the job. He is guided by the experienced staff for a period of time. Once he is familiar with the work flow, he can become independent.
After being promoted to Chunin, even if they have the ability to work independently, the Jonin can withdraw at this time.
Gaara is from the Sand Village, so we won’t mention that.
On the Konoha side, it should be Ino and Sasuke who are promoted to Chunin, while Naruto, Shikamaru, Shino and others need further investigation by the village's top leaders.
There were too many things going on before, so Jiraiya took over as the fifth generation and sorted out the chaotic situation before dealing with the remaining issues from the Chunin Exam.
After research, Ino, Sasuke, Naruto, Shino, Neji, and Shikamaru are all on the promotion list.
Basically, there are four classes of leading jonin, one or two in each class, and all the major ninja clans are also involved.
For Naruto, he wanted to do his best to make amends, and becoming a Chunin was just the first step.
But when he saw Naruto's blank paper from the Chunin Exam, he had a bad feeling, so he quickly called Naruto to his office, set the questions himself, and tested him on the spot.
"What the hell are those answers you gave?!" Jiraiya exploded on the spot. He randomly asked ten questions, the simplest ones, but Naruto didn't answer any of them correctly.
He made a Chunin like you? Isn't that harming people?
"I'm sorry! Hokage, it's all my fault. I'm really sorry!" Iruka was brave enough to take responsibility and bowed 90 degrees, thinking that it was his fault that he had not taught Naruto well.
Jiraiya was overwhelmed. Naruto's theoretical knowledge was almost zero, and it was really difficult to pass the appointment as a Chunin. He couldn't get past his conscience.
It's not that I don't give Minato face, you should just continue to be a Genin! Ino is also a bit troublesome. With Ino's strength, referring to Kakashi's old example, she is more than enough to be a Jonin. When Kakashi was a Jonin, his strength was not as good as hers.
Ino's shortcoming is that she has completed too few tasks, so Jiraiya asked Tsunade to comfort her and make her a Chunin first, and then promote her to Jonin when the number of tasks is similar.
Tsunade punched the newly minted fifth generation into the wall with one punch. My disciple is qualified to be a Hokage, a Chunin? Who are you trying to fool? But in the end, she agreed to help pass the message.
Ino didn't care about this at all. She just wanted Tsunade to leave the village as soon as possible so that she could go out and cause trouble too.
She was very careful when cracking the brain of the Fourth Kazekage. She didn't touch the secrets of many brain sealing techniques. Now she just found a piece of information. She found the place where the Fourth Kazekage buried the gold in the sand! The economic situation in the whole world is not very good. Gold cannot be sold all at once, otherwise the price of gold will be too low. The Fourth Kazekage would pan for gold in the desert when he had nothing to do. Over time, the amount of gold stored was not small.
The Fourth Kazekage did not tell anyone about this secret storage location.
Now there is a large amount of gold waiting for her in the depths of the desert. Ino is so anxious that she doesn't care about jonin or chunin. It's just a few bucks. On the third day of Jiraiya's tenure as Godaime, Ino, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Neji, and Shino were promoted to chunin.
I changed the information on my ninja registration card and received a Chunin vest.
Ino took a photo holding the Chunin vest and the promotion document, and then put the green clothes in the bottom of the box.
You can wear this dress or not, the village does not force you to wear it.
Orochimaru had been wearing this vest before he rebelled against the village, hoping to leave a good impression on everyone. But then he heard, what? Minato Namikaze was going to be the fourth generation? WQNMD! He stopped wearing it! Ino still wore her belly-baring outfit, and Neji didn't give up his Chinese style. The Aburame clan could only wear their clan's special clothes because they were covered with bugs. Sasuke didn't feel anything for the green clothes. In the end, only Shikamaru changed into a Chunin vest.
